Amazing Immigration Attorney

Highly recommend working with Paul. If you’re doing a change of status via marriage let me tell you: it is hard! There are lots of pages to fill out and lots of confusion, with lots of uncertainty. Don’t do it on your own and call this place! Paul helped us do the change of status for my husband from... F1 to Resident. Along the way, he was transparent for everything, from the price to what we needed. Though, it took us 2 years because of covid, Paul was constantly checking in on us and doing the necessary renewals. He was there with us for the final interview, which made things go smoothly and now we got the residency!

Smooth green card application

Paul did an excellent job during my green card application process. I felt very well taken care of and overall the process, pricing and communication was very transparent. Paul regularly followed-up and responded very quickly to all my questions. The flat rate price gave me ease of mind that I won’t ...be facing any unexpected charges.

Hiring Paul was the best decision

I worked with Paul for both my Residence and Citizenship processes and I am glad I did because having a lawyer makes a huge difference in understanding what to do, what not to do and why as well as knowing what to expect. He is very clear, honest and direct when explaining anything, always availabl...e when needed (responds really quick to questions and concerns), he checks in for every important step of the process making sure you are both on the same page and most importantly he is the most reliable advise you can get. Paul is also a very friendly and funny person which makes the tedious details and paperwork part less stressful.

Used two times for immigration, myself and my wife .

I used Paul for my own immigration and then for my wife from Thailand. The paperwork and application forms were somewhat of a nightmare, at times total frustration and anxiety overload. Paul helped us throughout this whole ordeal. I would highly recommend Paul for any type of immigration matters .

Efficient and extremely knowledgeable

Hey, you, reading this review. How are things? Probably a little edgy, eh? I was in your shoes not very long ago. It’s almost a state of being as an immigrant (or “non-immigrant” for that matter). I’d status-hopped for a number of years since I first came to the US as a graduate student. But now, my ...wife and I were looking for someone to help me “adjust” my status, and become a permanent immigr err resident. I’d found the perfect attorney through an online search – someone local, here in Spokane, top of my Google “immigration attorney Spokane” search. So we met up and they were full of it – gall, that is, for thinking they can fool two PhD’s who can Google search legality of a I130/I485 petition as an H1B status holder. So I got back in your shoes again (they’re comfy, what can I say), and got back on Yelp. And I removed “Spokane” from the search – immigration law is federal law. And I found Paul. Let me tell you about Paul: He’s a friendly guy, with a unique (good) sense of humor but what we all really care for – he is an extremely knowledgeable and competent immigration attorney. We’re in Eastern WA and Paul is in Seattle. At no point did we feel that distance was getting in the way of our application/petition. He patiently listens to your concerns on the phone (Lord knows I had several over the months – being on a ‘temporary’ visa gives you PTSD) and patiently explains procedures/protocols. He’s quick to respond to queries. I was shocked to hear back from him sometimes on a Sunday evening. Really, Paul? Your family must hate your clients. Paul had a meticulously prepared form and checklist that we filled out as he was preparing our I130/I485 (+EAD and Travel authorization) applications. His communications are short but precise – no fluff, no room for misinterpretation. Some folks might read that as cold and unfriendly, I see that as him being efficient. I appreciate efficiency. When you’re going up to the USCIS for an immigrant petition of any sort, you don’t need friendly, you need an efficient professional. I had several self-induced panic moments after the application was submitted (“Paul, I actually re-entered the US of a different date than what we put on the application gaaah!”) or one that was USCIS-induced albeit by their mistake (as I will never forget Paul telling me: “Clearly, an erroneous request (from the USCIS)…”). Paul calmly explained how we would deal with it – if and when we needed to. Paul, do you have steel ball bearings for breakfast? Nothing ruffles this man. Paul called-in via telephone for our actual interview at the local office (he must like Spokane or something) and you could tell he has done this a thousand times with how he interacted with the interviewer. Our interview went off without a hitch. Paul was quick to jump in to make sure things went as smoothly as possible when there was even the slightest semblance of a possible miscommunication. The interviewer made it sound like he was inconveniencing us by keeping us “so long”. I’ve been on various statuses (statii?) in the US for 10+ years. I’ve seen other immigration agencies handle petitions on my behalf in the past. Take it from me, Paul is the best immigration attorney you can have in your corner, regardless of whether your situation is easy and especially if it is not. He’s a straight-shooter who knows his trade – he knows immigration laws and he knows how the USCIS operates. All those suspiciously positive reviews you’ve been reading are real (I didn’t believe it either at first – I’m a scientist, I’m suspicious of everything). Trust me, he’s good. If you’re looking for an immigration attorney, you better call Paul.
